OverviewReprint with new Preface. In the 2002 edition of From Ideology to Liturgy, Eric Caplan examined Reconstructionism's interpretation and adaptation of the traditional Jewish liturgy and its creation of new prayer texts to convey and express the movement's changing ideology. Further insight into Reconstructionist liturgy was gained through comparing these prayerbooks to the contemporaneous liturgies of Reform and Conservative Judaism and to the work of Jewish Renewal. In this new supplemented reprint edition, Caplan offers an expansive study of liberal Jewish prayerbooks published in the decades since From Ideology to Liturgy first appeared and revisits his earlier conclusions in light of more recent expanded access to Mordecai Kaplan's diaries and archives.

Table of ContentsReviewsAs a general statement of the direction of Reconstructionist liturgy as compared with other movements within Judaism, this book could serve as an overview. It raises interesting questions of translation and presentation of materials. There is also an interesting segment on the comparison of Reconstructionism with Aleph, the Alliance for Jewish Renewal. Caplan raises good observations of commonality as well as social merging that occur between these two schools of thought. [...] the final section on Jewish Renewal is a nice projection into future possibilities between Renewal and Reconstructionism.
